“It is only at the first encounter that a face makes its full impression on us.” Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860)

So please allow myself a chance to reveal the etymology of the newborn’s name.

NQLOGIC is a reference to the Quantum Logic (or "QLOGIC") applied multiple times ("N" in mathematical terms) to various dimensions, expertise and knowledge practice.

A century ago, Newton’s laws could explain all physical interactions in the universe, except at the quantum level. Their classic physical interactions behaved differently, and scientists struggled to find a unified theory to explain all physical interactions, those of the planets and the electrons. But, filtered through a different approach from the mathematics, driven by Einstein, a new explanation led to the revolutionary theory of Quantum Theory.

The company name is a reminder that reality should be filtered through the various scientific tools from multiple disciplines available to draw conclusions, like it was illustrated so well by the Quantum Theory.
